Description

field of invention

The present invention relates to the technical field of printers and more particularly to a packaging arrangement.

background

1 Figure 12 shows a schematic diagram of a prior art consumable and resetter. As in 1 As shown, the prior art consumables sometimes need to be repaired. Specifically, after the printing raw materials (e.g., ink, toner) are ejected into the recycled consumable 10, the restoration of the printing raw material information and the correction of the consumable model information on the chip 110 should be performed. In such a correction, the consumable 10 must be placed on the resetter 20 so that the terminals 111 of the chip 110 on the consumable 10 are in contact with the contacts 210 on the resetter 20, and the resetter 20 is activated to push the chip 110 through restore or correct the program on the resetter 20.

In the manufacturing process of the prior art, the resetting process of the semi-finished product of the consumable 10 includes installing the semi-finished product of the consumable 10 on the resetter 20, completing the reset, and then removing the semi-finished product from the resetter 20. The above operation is performed for each of the consumables 10 is performed, and then the reset operation is completed. If the chip recognition process is required after the process confirmation, a recognition process is also required. The detection process includes installing the chip on the detector, completing the detection, and then removing the chip from the detector. This process is cumbersome and inefficient.

The buffer member 23 is placed around a vulnerable portion of the consumable 30 to avoid damaging the vulnerable portion. As in 5 As shown, the vulnerable portion of the consumable 30 in this embodiment is the fastener 320 and is easily damaged by external impact and other causes since it is a movable member. The buffer member 23 is placed around the fastener 320 to prevent the fastener 320 from being damaged.

Magnetic suction devices may be arranged at respective positions on the first outer packaging member 21 and the second outer packaging member 22 in advance. In the final step of packaging, the sealing film is not used, and the magnetic suction devices arranged on the first outer packaging member 21 and the second outer packaging member 22 can be adjusted to each other. The first outer packaging element 21 and the second outer packaging element 22 can also be attached by means of an adhesive or sealing film.

The second actuation window 222 is configured to expose at least a portion of the chip 330 . The second actuation window 222 exposes the terminal 331 of the chip 330 . For example, the second actuation window 222 exposes the entire chip 330 . With such a structure, operations such as updating, resetting, correcting, replacing, can be performed in the chip 330 without unpacking the packaging arrangement.

As a portion of the consumable packaging structure, the loading unit 40 is inserted into the outer packaging unit 200 together with the consumable 30 to optimize the process of removing the consumable from the resetter or the detector, thereby improving manufacturing efficiency.

With the second operation window 222 on the outer packaging unit 200 operations such. B. Updating, resetting, correcting and replacing can be performed on the chip 330 without unpacking the packaging arrangement for the consumables.

For example, the operating steps of operating the chip 330 from the outside of the consumable packaging assembly may be a step A in which the consumable packaging assembly is arranged in a stable manner, a step B in which the actuator 50 gradually moves along the packaging assembly approaches the -Z-axis direction until the contact pin 510 abuts against the terminal 331 of the chip 330, a step C in which the start button of the actuator 50 is pressed or the actuator 50 is automatically activated and then the actuator 50 starts the corresponding process and a step D in which the operation is completed and the actuator 50 is far from the combined body 400.

Embodiment 5

According to Embodiment 1 to Embodiment 5, in each embodiment, the packaging structure may include a protection unit, and the protection unit provided may be arranged on the outer packaging unit. The protection unit covers at least a portion of the operation window and prevents the receiving unit from communicating with the outside. For example, the protection unit covers at least the operation window and completely prevents the receiving unit from communicating with the outside.

For example, for the protective unit provided, in order to perform restriction of communication between inside and outside, the protective unit provided may be a protective film, which may be detachably connected to the outer packaging unit and/or the consumable. The protective film can be waterproof, dustproof and prevent air circulation to seal the connection of the corresponding operation windows or the deployment ports. In order to ensure the sealing effect of the protective film, to allow the user's operation and to enable the opening and sealing of the corresponding opening, the protective film may be adhesively bonded. The adhesive material can be disposable or recyclable. When resetting or rewriting the chip, the protective film is removed and the chip is then actuated through the actuation window. After such actuation is complete, the actuation window is covered with viscous material.

This embodiment also provides another protection unit as in 16 1, which is a schematic diagram of a structure of the protection unit. The protective unit 80 arranged on the operating window is shown below by way of example. The protection unit 80 may include an upper cover 80b and a lower cover 80a that are attached to each other. The bottom cover 80a is fixedly connected to the outer packaging unit. The upper cover 80b can move relative to the lower cover 80a so that the lower cover 80a can move to cover or open the operation window. For example, in the attachment position 810, the bottom cover 80a is bonded/adhesively bonded around a side wall of the corresponding operation window. The bottom cover 80a has a through hole 830, and the through hole 830 is at least partially overlapped with the opening of the operation window. For example, the through hole 830 completely covers the operation window. The lower cover 80a is rotatably connected to the upper cover 80b by a shaft 850 so that the upper cover 80b can rotate relative to the lower cover 80a to cover the through hole 830 so that the upper cover 80b seals the operation window, or so that the through hole 830 is opened so that the through hole 830 and the operation window communicate with the outside through the top cover 80b. That's how it lays Window 670 at least a portion of the chip 330 free. activities such as B, update, reset, correct, replace can be performed on the chip 330 without unpacking the packaging assembly.

For example, in order to achieve better sealing and communication effect and to enable operation, one of the top cover 80b and the bottom cover 80a is provided with a buckle unit 820, and the other of the top cover 80b and the bottom cover 80a is with a buckle position 840 Mistake. The engagement of the buckle unit 820 and the buckle position 840 allows the top cover 80b to seal the through hole 830, and the disengagement between the buckle unit 820 and the buckle position 840 allows the top cover 80b to rotate relative to the bottom cover 80a to open the through hole 830. That is, according to the requirements, when it is necessary to operate the internal chip, the user only needs to loosen the buckle portion 820 from the buckle position 840, and then manually rotate the top cover 80b to open the operation window to expose the chip 330 bring.

It should be emphasized here that other forms of actuation can also be adopted for the appropriate structure of the set protection unit, which is not limited here.
